Rewari forms a part of the National Capital Region and keeps the craft of Tilledar Jooti alive

Background

In 1989 the Government of Haryana accorded Rewari the status of a district. Before that it was a sub-division and tehsil head quarter of district Mahendergarh. Jhajjar lies to its north, Mahendergarh to its west and Gurgaon to its east and north-east, while district Alwar of Rajasthan touches Rewari in the south-east. Because Rajasthan is adjacent, the district has dust storms in summer, and the rugged hilly terrain of Aravali ranges along with sandy dunes shapes the climate of the city. Rewari forms a part of the National Capital Region and has an average elevation of 245 metres. Its traditional industries are brass metalwork and the ornamental local shoes called Tilledar Jooti. Automobile and auto ancillary industries work in the Dharuhera and Bawal industrial areas.
